Join us in our attempt to surpass the sunscreen world record!

On Saturday, August 9, Kings Island will attempt to surpass the world record for the most people applying sunscreen simultaneously to help raise awareness and money for the fight against cancers affecting men, women and children.

The Guinness Book of Records shows the current record at 1,822 people applying sunscreen simultaneously. That was achieved by the Ann’s Hope Foundation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 18, 2014.

The Kings Island initiative is part of its Kicks Cancer campaign to raise awareness for Melanoma Know More and will take place at 12:00 p.m. in the Showplace Theatre on International Street. Cincinnati Reds all-star third baseman Todd Frazier will join park visitors in the record-breaking attempt.

Melanoma Know More is striving to reduce the impact of melanoma through awareness, education, support of medical research and assistance to persons affected by melanoma.

Do we need I register for this? Also any age limits?

Definitely a great way to raise awareness and even help protect some of Saturday's park guests in a direct way.

For those spending the day who applied sunscreen in the morning, noon will be a good time to reapply.

Is the sunscreen being given out or do guests need their bring their own?

I know that the free sunscreen was one of the most popular attractions at the park I visited last week...
